714: Taixu Human Emperor

"Taixu Human Emperor..."

"This is a great tribulation."

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning, hidden within the Dao's essence, slowly spoke.

His tone was no longer calm, revealing layers of helplessness.

Even at this moment, the Dao's essence around him was no longer rich, and it showed a dim, gloomy color.

"If the Arctic Immortal hadn't slaughtered the Human Race, the Human Emperor wouldn't have hated the Chan Sect so deeply."

A Golden Immortal shook his head and sighed. On the surface, these words were a criticism of a fellow Disciple, but they were actually a complaint against the Heavenly Venerate.

Saints do not die, but they are not invincible, nor are they without fault.

And after making a wrong decision, they will eventually suffer a backlash.

This is how the Heavenly Dao operates.

Hearing his Disciple's complaint, the Heavenly Venerate did not get angry.

After the battle with the Human Emperor, he also had a slight Epiphany.

The new order established by the investiture of the gods created an era, but there would always be a day for its curtain call.

The debts incurred in the past would still, after the long river of time, return to him.

In fact, regardless of whether the Arctic Immortal slaughtered the Human Race or not.

The Human Emperor and his Chan Sect were incompatible.

Because the two sides represented different values.

From the long wall of Luck, it could be seen that the Human Race practiced collectivism.

When all individual Luck converged at one point, regardless of status, everyone was like a Dragon.

But the Chan Sect practiced elitism.

In their eyes, all living beings were equal.

However, it was "all living beings below Immortals are ants." They used all Mortals as nourishment and resources to allow a small number of people to achieve eternal life and freedom.

In contrast, the Human Emperor wanted to lead the Human Race to Ascension.

This shook the Foundation of the Immortals. If even ants could Ascend, what use were they, these Immortals?

The fundamental interests of both sides were at odds. Even without the Arctic Immortal, without the investiture of the gods, conflicts would have erupted sooner or later.

Therefore, for the Chan Sect.

The Human Emperor's return was a great tribulation.

Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning had already seen that the Taixu Human Emperor would eventually arrive at Kunlun Mountain.

At that time, these Immortals would either bow their heads or lose them.

What made the Saint despair was that this tribulation had sown the Karma in the Battle of the investiture of the gods.

Now, it could no longer be resolved; they could only quietly await its arrival.

Perhaps the best outcome would be to abandon the elitism of "all living beings are ants" and treat everything with an equal gaze.

But... could these people who had become Immortals achieve that?

Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning had some doubts.

But none of that mattered anymore.

Those who could do it would continue to exist.

Those who could not would only be crushed under the wheels of time.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of the Beginning felt a little tired.

He slowly closed his eyes, his figure disappearing into the dim Dao's essence.

Seeing this, his Disciples sighed with emotion, bowing before the Saint and saying, "Respectfully sending off the Heavenly Venerate, returning to the Great Dao."

Saints do not die, but they can fall into a deep sleep.

Once the Heavenly Venerate left like this, no one knew when he would manifest again.

And during this period, how would the Immortals of the Chan Sect face the Human Emperor's tribulation?

Perhaps the six fallen Golden Immortals and the Saint's Clone had already provided the answer...

"Qiu Yan, Si Zhenfeng, greetings to the Taixu Human Emperor."

Supreme Imperial City, inside the sleeping quarters.

Qiu Yan and Si Zhenfeng bowed before the dragon bed.

Lin Xiaoer sat by the side of the bed, looking at her son with a face full of worry.

Although Qin Yang had woken up, his complexion had still not recovered.

Lin Xiaoer didn't know what he had experienced, nor could she understand his injuries.

Logically, as long as Professionals received proper treatment, they wouldn't appear so sickly.

Because stats were just stats; as long as the stats recovered, a person's condition would be maximized.

But now, Qin Yang no longer had a panel.

Even after taking a first-grade Medicinal Pill from the shennong cauldron, his body did not improve.

"Don't worry about Us, Our body is fine."

Qin Yang comforted Lin Xiaoer.

He knew very well that he was burdened with enormous Karma, which was why he was so weak.

The battle of the Saints, after all, had destroyed hundreds of thousands of worlds, not even sparing Shenzhou.

Although it was eventually reshaped, Karma had already been generated and had to be digested over time.

Qin Yang had no time to worry about this.

Although he had successfully completed his class change, some things were not over yet.

Currently, Shenzhou was still in chaos.

Thousands of cities had turned into ghost cities, the population had decreased by one-third, and high-level Professionals were completely wiped out.

Such a situation, besides Qin Yang, no one could handle.

"The surrounding areas are very stable now; no one has caused trouble."

"However, the paralyzed areas must be protected as soon as possible."

"We have already sent more personnel to various disaster areas, but there are simply not enough people."

Qiu Yan reported to Qin Yang, his face full of worry.

In the thousands of ghost cities, there were hundreds of millions of citizens who had turned into Medicinal Pills.

If they were not protected quickly, if a monster invasion occurred, those people would become candy and be devoured by the monsters.

Qin Yang also found this situation tricky.

Hundreds of millions of Medicinal Pills!

How could they all be collected?

Although he had two methods, the eastern emperor bell and Disentangle All Forms, to transform Immortal Pills back into humans, the longer the time elapsed, the greater the difficulty.

It should be known that the medicinal power of Immortal Pills would dissipate over time.

For example, the lightning-elemental Medicinal Pill that Qin Chuan had transformed into, its lightning glow was already somewhat dimmer than before.

This was the result of careful preservation, let alone other Medicinal Pills scattered outside.

If time dragged on, Qin Yang would also be powerless.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang immediately summoned the human emperor banner, preparing to set off for various disaster areas to first collect everyone's Souls.

This was somewhat extreme for him.

He was already burdened with Karma; now, using the human emperor banner to collect hundreds of millions of Souls would also subject him to a massive amount of Karma, which would further worsen his "illness."

But Qin Yang had no time to wait for his condition to recover.

Besides.

His actions this time were to save all living beings.

Even if it wasn't counted as Karma, it couldn't be counted as negative Karma, could it?

Thinking of this, Qin Yang immediately activated the human emperor banner in his hand, attempting to first collect all the Souls within Shangjing City.

However, there weren't many... Qin Yang was suddenly startled!

Under the boundless true fire, millions of people had died in Shangjing City.

Where were their Souls?

How could there only be a few wisps?

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Si Zhenfeng, "Summon Chen Moran."

Si Zhenfeng took a deep breath and said, "Chen Moran... also sacrificed himself."

Qin Yang felt helpless.

He had wanted to ask the strongest Necromancer in Shenzhou where the Souls of the deceased had gone.

It turned out that this guy was also one of the departed Souls.

"Find a high-level Necromancer; We have something to ask."

Unexpectedly, Si Zhenfeng stood still, his expression very grim.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoer said, "All the high-level Professionals have died in battle. Where can we find a high-level Necromancer?"

Hearing this, Qin Yang also had a headache.

From this, it could be seen that Shenzhou's losses this time were definitely on a nation-destroying scale.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yang simply released the legendary Necromancer, Ice Heart Queen, from the human emperor banner.

With a gust of ghostly wailing wind, a female figure hidden in black mist appeared within the sleeping quarters.

"A Min, greetings to the Human Emperor."

As soon as the Ice Heart Queen appeared, the entire palace grew a few degrees colder.

Seeing the figure hidden in the black mist, Qiu Yan and Si Zhenfeng couldn't help but shrink back, and even Lin Xiaoer, who was already at the Transcendent Tier, had a hint of panic in her eyes.

These people had grown up listening to the stories of the Ice Heart Queen.

This legendary Necromancer, who once sat on the Throne of Bones 500 years ago, had left a considerable psychological shadow on them.

And now, she was even the main Soul of the human emperor banner, her evil spirit (evil Qi) not decreasing but increasing...
